I think many of us are taking for granted that we will win big this November but as Goldy said... http://www.horsesass.org/?p=5120
[...] that's XML for "end war." And the fact that this was the shirt that Darcy was wearing at 7AM when she and her family fled their burning house, tells us in the netroots all we need to know about Darcy Burner [...] Darcy needs to raise about $150,000 this July to keep pace with Dave Reichert and her own 2006 fundraising, and everyday she takes off makes her campaign budget that much harder to hit. That's about $5,000 a day. And that's why I'm joining with bloggers nationwide to ask our readers to contribute what they can today, to help give Darcy the breathing room she needs to tend to her own affairs without worrying about neglecting her campaign. Every $5,000 increment we raise represents a day that Darcy won't have to dedicate to her own fundraising efforts. It is a gift more precious than money; it is a gift of time.

The fact that she is not raking in the dough this year baffles me. Is it because we are all small dollar donators who do not have much and most of it has been going to Obama, Clinton, Edwards, etc?
Are we forgetting about the local and state races?
Progressive Blue
... first the primary and now the presidential race has sucked a lot of the air out of the room.
Darcy has selflessly requested that you donate money to your local animal shelter or Firefighter's Benevolent Society, but she needs our help as well. So please give Darcy the time (by donating to her campaign - add by me) to get her house in order, so that come November, she can help us get our House in order too.
i think that's the problem. Too many folks have put a lot of money into the presidential primary and have less to spend on really important house, senate and other local/state races.
that was one of the things that was maddening about the primary. So many resources spent on a contest decided back in March.
But in any regards, I gave to Darcy a few nights ago and it looks like I'll give to her again once I get home from the studio. Not that I can give a lot since I'm in graduate school but $25 is $25. Anyone who doesn't usually give want to match my $25?
Thanks for the diary Josh.
